- An electronic device may implement a wireless communication function of the electronic device by setting one or more antennas.
- antenna forms in the electronic device may be diverse.
- the antenna forms in the electronic device may include a monopole (monopole), a dipole (dipole), and the like.
- the antenna may include an electric field antenna and a magnetic field antenna.
- the antennas need to match distribution of a floor eigenmode, to obtain better radiation performance.
- FIG. 1 shows a current distribution condition of the floor eigenmode at a low frequency (such as 0.85 GHZ), a medium frequency (such as 1.97 GHz), and a high frequency (such as 2.32 GHz). It may be learnt that current distribution corresponding to the floor eigenmode is different at different frequencies. For example, the stronger current at 0.85 GHz is distributed at two ends in an x direction of a floor. The strong current at 1.97 GHz is distributed toward a positive direction of a y axis and converges toward a negative direction of the y axis, forming four strong current distribution areas as shown in FIG. 1 .
- a low frequency such as 0.85 GHZ
- a medium frequency such as 1.97 GHz
- a high frequency such as 2.32 GHz
- the stronger current at 2.32 GHz is further distributed toward the positive direction of the y axis and converges toward the negative direction of the y axis, forming two strong current areas at a top part and a bottom part of the floor as shown in FIG. 1 .
- a current corresponds to a magnetic field.
- the magnetic field antenna may be arranged in an area in which a floor current is strong at a corresponding frequency, so that the antenna may better excite the floor during operation, to obtain better radiation performance.
- FIG. 2 shows an electric field distribution condition of a floor eigenmode at a low frequency (such as 0.85 GHZ), a medium frequency (such as 1.97 GHz), and a high frequency (such as 2.32 GHz).
- a low frequency such as 0.85 GHZ
- a medium frequency such as 1.97 GHz
- a high frequency such as 2.32 GHz.
- the stronger electric field at 0.85 GHz is distributed at two ends of a y direction of a floor.
- the stronger electric field at 1.97 GHz is distributed at two ends in the y direction of the floor and in a middle area in the y direction of the floor.
- the stronger electric field at 2.32 GHz is distributed toward an edge, and is distributed in four edge areas as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the electric field antenna may be arranged in an area in which a floor electric field is strong at a corresponding frequency, so that the antenna may better excite the floor during operation, to obtain better radiation performance.
- the electric field antenna may be arranged at a position 1-4 and a position 1′-4′ as shown in FIG. 3 . Therefore, the floor electric field may be better excited to radiate in an operating process of the antenna, thereby obtaining better radiation performance.
- an inverted-L Antenna (The Inverted-L Antenna, ILA) is used as an example.
- the ILA antenna may be one implementation of a monopole antenna.
- the ILA antenna When the ILA antenna is operating, based on a size of a radiator of the ILA antenna, the ILA antenna may be excited to obtain at least one resonance in a corresponding operating frequency band.
- a length of the radiator of the ILA antenna may correspond to 1 ⁇ 4 of a corresponding wavelength of the operating frequency band.
- the ILA antenna may implement coverage of the operating frequency band by operating at the 1 ⁇ 4 wavelength.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an ILA antenna. It may be learnt that when the ILA antenna operates in a 1 ⁇ 4 wavelength mode, a non-reverse current may be generated on a radiator. For example, the current may flow from an end of the ILA antenna to a feeding point. It may be understood that flow of the current on the radiator may be caused by potential differences at different positions on the radiator. For example, when a potential at the end of the radiator is high and a potential close to the feeding point is low, the current as shown in FIG. 4 is formed.
- the reference ground is used as a zero-potential reference. Due to distribution of different potentials on the radiator, there is also an uneven electric field between the radiator of the ILA antenna and the reference ground. For example, in the scenario shown in FIG. 4 , the electric field close to the end of the ILA antenna is strong, and the closer to the feeding point, the weaker the electric field.
- a magnetic current loop antenna provided in embodiments of this application may enable the antenna to generate an even electric field during operation, thereby obtaining better radiation performance.
- the magnetic current loop antenna solution provided in embodiments of this application may be widely applied in different antenna forms.
- a magnetic current loop monopole antenna such as a magnetic current loop ILA antenna
- a magnetic current loop dipole antenna based on a dipole antenna
- a magnetic current loop left-hand antenna based on a left-hand antenna
- a magnetic current loop slot antenna based on a slot (slot) antenna.
